Product Description

Staff training is critical to your garden center business, but it’s incredibly difficult to spend the time on in-depth training to get your team ready for a successful and profitable spring.

We’re putting two great courses – one for your front line staff and one for your team leaders – together into one package to help remove some of your training burden this spring:

"People Power - Essential Skills That Turn Your Payroll Into Profit"

• Course 1 – RELATE Customer Service Skills

This self-guided training course is designed for your staff and will help them bring out their best and give their customers a tremendous experience in your garden center. Kathryn Dager walks employees step by step through ways to draw on their own experiences as customers and then translate that into skills that make them better sales associates. The end result of this course will be a confident, happier team that feels empowered to put your customers’ success first.

Modules build on the information from previous sections. Each module is 20 minutes long, meaning training can fit easily into any schedule. Modules conclude with a 10-question quiz to measure the team member’s understanding of the material.

• Course 2 - Coaching, Mentoring & Management Skills

This self-guided course for team leaders and managers will take your biggest frustrations and show you how to turn them around. We provide new perspectives, tools and strategies to help you understand you can’t do everything yourself – and that you can create an environment where you empower your team members and trust them to help your customers and your business be successful. And you’ll learn how to relate all of these lessons to your own past experiences and see how you will handle them better in the future.

Modules build on the information from previous sections. Each module is 20 minutes long, meaning training can now fit easily into any schedule. Modules conclude with a 10-question quiz to measure understanding of the material.

Some benefits of these courses include: - Your team members’ progress on the courses is tracked and reported through a test at the end of each module. - These are downloadable online courses, so they are accessible 24/7 - team members can take the course from home - It’s a great way to have your team members refresh these important skills every year

The cost for all 9 modules is $597.
